Role at Amani:

What made you want to intern with Amani? 

I fell in love with the products of Amani before I even heard about the mission and story of Amani ya Juu. I would see the products around town, in a friend's kitchen, or around a stranger's wrist and ask about it and it was Amani every time. When I finally heard the mission of peace, reconciliation, and empowerment, there was no turning back. I fell in love with the organization and applied just a week later. I am so grateful for this opportunity.

Random Facts: I am a twin, Little Women is my favorite movie, and I drink coffee like it's going out of style

Favorite Amani Product: Lapa Infinity Scarf
